Ludhiana has become the third city in Punjab, after Mohali and Jalandhar, to implement the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS). The system includes 1,700 high-resolution cameras at 259 locations and 46 AI-enabled cameras to detect nine types of traffic violations. The Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) was inaugurated to integrate multiple police units, improving coordination and reducing police response time from 15 to 7-8 minutes. The DGP emphasized preventive policing and held meetings to enhance citizen-centric grievance resolution. A 'Bada Khana' event was also organized to boost police camaraderie.
